According to the bilateral accord, both sides have emphasized peace, mutual respect and a commitment to good neighborly relations.”

He noted that a mechanism will be established - with the mediation of third-party countries - to review bilateral claims and ensure the implementation of the agreement.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar said in a statement that a round of negotiations between Pakistan and Afghanistan was held in Doha, mediated by the State of Qatar and the Republic of Türkiye.
